Notes on training BERT from scratch on an 8GB consumer GPU
I trained a BERT model (Devlin et al, 2019) from scratch on my desktop PC (which has a Nvidia 3060 Ti 8GB GPU). The model architecture, tokenizer, and trainer all came from Hugging Face libraries, and my contribution was mainly setting up the code, setting up the data (~20GB uncompressed text), and leaving my computer…

Why Do ML on the Erlang VM?
Another question might be; why do machine learning at all? I'm not big into ML/AI though I've been poking it more recently as the open models, such as Stable Diffusion and the more practical Whisper, caught my curiosity. I have a very decent GPU (3090 Ti) and I've poked around a bit. I don't consider ML a super…
